Chapter 2783


    ?


    Horror-stricken, all the others eximed, "Your Grace!"


    Caught off guard, nobody could react in time to go to Szymon''s rescue.


    Everyone''s expression varied as they stared at the dead duke and the hole in his forehead.


    Many of Szymon''s faithful subordinates pulled out their weapons and were about to charge at Nathan furiously to avenge their duke.


    "Stop!" Piero, who was kneeling beside Szymon''s lifeless body,

    Scowling at everyone around him, he reprimanded, "Have all of you gone nuts? Don''t you know what will happen if you act impulsively? Do you think you can afford to cause a battle between the two countries? Even if Queen Annie were here right now, I bet she wouldn''t allow you to act recklessly either!"


    Piero''s words were like cold water for those at the peak of fury. With that, they came to their senses and cooled their heads off.


    Even so, some protested indignantly with fiery rage in their eyes, "He killed


    Duke Szymon. How can we let him off like this?"


    Piero replied resignedly, "Things have progressed to an extent beyond our control. Everyone, please don''t act recklessly. I believe the royal family will resolve this matter and give everyone an exnation."


    Hearing that, they quietened down. It was known to everyone that Szymon''s father-inw was Jurgis, who was a prince and had the highest authority in the royal family. Apart from that, Annie had a soft spot for Szymon.


    Hence, they presumed Jurgis would not let Nathan off for killing Szymon. Moreover, Annie would surely seek justice for thetter as well.


    Oblivious to everyone''s gaze, Nathan left nonchntly with Penny, Carlos, and the others.


    On the way back to the embassy,


    Carlos, with anxiousness written all over his face stated restlessly,


    "President Cross, Szymon was


    undoubtedly an influential figure it


    Eaglnd. Now that he''s dead, assume the royal family of


    Eaglnd will not let you off. To y it safe, how about you end your interview with Eaglnd immediately and leave first? I''m


    afraid the situation will escte at any moment."


    Nathan shed him a faint smile. "Why should I be bothered since he''s only a duke? Throughout those years in the North, I''ve killed almost a hundred dukes. Offing him is no big deal. You don''t have to be worried about anything."


    Nheless, Carlos was still not at ease. "But—"


    Nathan cut him offposedly. "Enough of that. Since we did it out of righteousness, there''s nothing to fear. The royal family of Eaglnd can''t pick on us by ming us for it either."


    Momentster, they were back at


    the embassyThe first thing Nathan did was to assign someone to bring the imperial'' jade seal back to


    Eurasia Ever since the Eurasian


    knew that he had obtained their national treasure from the auction, they had been waiting for it to be sent back to their country in anticipation.


    Nathan did not assign Carlos to bring the national treasure back this time around. Instead, he sought help from Eurasia''s military base overseas to send it back to their country.


    He had just arranged for the treasure to be transported back to Eurasia when Colin entered and reported to him, "President Cross, someone from the royal family of Eaglnd is here, iming that Queen Annie requests you to meet her in tinumez Pce."


    Nathan queried cidly, "Did she mention why she wants to see me?"


    “No. She didn''t mention anything. However, my instinct tells me that it could be rted to Szymon. President Cross, I have a feeling the royal family of Eaglnd ns to settle the score with you."


    Nathan''s lips curled up slightly as hemented, “Interesting!”


    Colin asked warily, "President Cross, are you going to meet Queen Annie? Should we take Carlos'' advice to end the interview and leave Eaglnd before anything happens?"


    Nathan added cooly, "We''ve stayed


    in Eaglnd for two days, and it''s about time we leave. Even so, it''s inappropriate for us to leave without bidding them farewell. Thus, I guess I''d better meet Queen Annie before that. At the same time, I''m curious teknow what she intends to say." Content belongs to


    Hearing that, Colin replied, "Yes, President Cross. I''ll get our transport ready now."
